Came here for a family dinner. Great location and awesome water views! One of those places that…read morethe ambiance views is enough to make patrons return. People were actually fishing right outside by the parking lot too which looked relaxing... Now for the food. We started off with appetizers and it was oysters and poke tuna tower. Not an oyster person myself. Brother in law and wife had them and they enjoyed them saying they were fresh. The poke tuna tower was good but it lacked salt and needed more sauce. It seemed like the sauce was only on the plate and not mixed with the ingredients. But the ingredients were fresh and the chips were served hot with some seasoning on them. For mains we had "Fish n Chips" and a bowl of clam chowder. Well it was more of a cup as they forgot we had ordered a bowl. Flavor was there but the temp was like warm and I'm a type that wants it a little more hot. The "Fish n Chips" for me wasn't the traditional plate when you read the name of the dish. Fish n Chips for me is flaky strips of fish or beer battered. This fish was more of a solid piece and breaded. But the seasoning was amazing!! The flavor was there so that made it up for me. But I'm a guru to fish n chips so I had a different vision of it. We did upgrade to the mahi mahi on it and that was really tendered. The fries were a little bland and the sweet potatoes fries were really chewing and dry. The menu had some great options that we want to try therefore we will be back to return again. Our server was on point! Great service and all with him dealing with 2 big group parties including ours. Think his name was Victor. Again, I highly recommend this and we cannot wait to go again!!

TLDR: Waterfront seafood restaurant (often busy, with a long wait for dinner) with delicious food…read more(still thinking about the pecan snapper and key lime pie). Good kids menu with the option to add protein (chicken or carnitas). This place exceeded my expectations. I did set them fairly low considering this is a touristy waterfront type of restaurant. FOOD: Delicious food here! Large menu too. Good clam chowder -- I only got a small cup but it was generously clammy. My grilled shrimp was good but usually most places can get that right. The asparagus side was cooked just right -- still had that crisp to it. However, the show stealer was hubby's pecan snapper. It was a big portion. The fish was also thick with a nice thin breading. Really dang good. I don't often grab dessert but I'm a fan of key lime pie -- their version did not disappoint. Delicious. KIDS FOOD: One of the best kids menus I've seen in a while. They've got a few deep fried options (chicken, fish, shrimp, corn dogs) as well as not fried (grilled cheese or mac and cheese). The part that really stood out was the option to add chicken, carnitas, or bacon to the mac and cheese. I got my son the mac and cheese with chicken on the side and they brought a large plate of chicken! It was delicious diced chicken too -- my son loved it! It was great to have a kid-friendly protein option since it's always fried junk or carbs galore. I should also add that the mac and cheese was real macaroni with melted cheese on top (not that fake goopy boxed type mac and cheese). They offer crayons and coloring paper to keep kids occupied while they wait. WAIT: I see a lot of negative reviews for the long wait. I mean -- it's a popular place, should you really hold that against them? I would probably avoid this spot for dinner on a weekend for this reason. We came for lunch on a Saturday (midday). There was no wait and we got a window table (we requested one). VIBE: Exactly what I wanted. Nice view of the water -- saw lots of fishing boats go by, a cool bird, and even a dolphin! The place is large and full of people but it's also pretty spacious with enough room between tables. SERVICE: Friendly and pretty attentive. BATHROOM: Cool chalkboard walls where you can leave your thoughts. There were some charmingly positive sentiments written in my stall. PARKING: Limited spots right outside of the restaurant but there is a large lot where people park their boats next door. No issue finding a spot there (early Saturday afternoon).

Also enjoyed the smoked brisket quesadilla with some cold beers, complete with coozies. And, bonus, across the street is the super cool , Seaman's Memorial Tower, dedicated to the local shrimpers and sailors who lost their lives to the sea. Very inspirational, and worth checking out.

The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting, other diners are friendly and you don't feel rushed, although they get packed, for good reason. The servers and bartenders work hard to make your dining experience special, and do a great job at remembering their customers and their needs. It's a large, varied menu with lots of delicious and some unique items. Kudos to Chef Ben for his consistency, attention to special requests and for being a nice guy. The lovely Victoria does an incredible job managing this busy spot and hiring great staff. And, live music on weekends. This time I had the garlic shrimp, which was exceptional with a huge side of crispy, light , non greasy pub chips...yum. They are usually dusted with cheese, but mine were not due to an allergy. Dylan had the Prime Rib Sandwich,with fries, that he inhaled. A lovely couple next to us, who are regulars, Cathy and her husband (apologies), were so friendly and enjoyed their Million Dollar BLT and fries Kailey was our super attentive and pleasant server, and got to see the two best bartenders in the area, Felicia and Britt. Honestly, if you haven't been, your missing out! And there is also an outside sitting area, and across the street is the Fulton Pier, where you can see dolphins at night!

We visited Lelo's as a family of five, including three small children, and unfortunately the…read moreexperience was extremely disappointing from the moment we walked in. When we entered, no one greeted us or explained how ordering worked. We ended up walking outside and finding a table on our own, only to later realize that we were supposed to order at the bar. When I went inside to order, I watched three other women walk in and the two men working immediately greeted them and explained the ordering process to them. I mentioned that no one had done that for my family, and instead of apologizing or acknowledging it, they simply pointed toward the menus. I then asked if they had high chairs. While I was holding my baby, they pointed toward where the high chairs were rather than offering to help me get one. I had to carry the high chair myself while holding my baby. As I was walking out, the employee walking in front of me didn't even stop to hold the door open. Ordering our food was also frustrating. I had six drinks to carry and asked for a drink holder. The bartender responded, "Oh, well, you can come back for it." Not exactly the kind of customer service you expect when someone is already carrying drinks for a family with small children. Then, when our food came out, my husband's patty melt had not been added to the order. When I brought it to their attention, I was told that the receipt showed I hadn't ordered it and that if I wanted one, I would have to go back up and pay for it. At that point, I declined. The biggest issue, however, was the condition of the patio area. We were sitting in the back patio because my 4-year-old was enjoying the play area. While we were there, four large rats ran across the fence line. I have never experienced anything like that at a restaurant. On top of the rats, I personally saw around five large cockroaches running around the tables. Seeing multiple rats and cockroaches around an area where people are eating was extremely disturbing, especially with three young children with us. Overall, between the lack of basic customer service, the problems with our order, and the number of rats and cockroaches we witnessed, this was an experience we will not be repeating. I hope management takes these concerns seriously because the cleanliness and pest situation, in particular, needs immediate attention

No refills except when we asked and sat for another 15 mins after finishing to get our bill. I ended up walking to the register and asked for the bill.

That will prevent me from probably going back whenever I'm in town.

Put some tables and what not out there. The wings I had the second night were not cooked through. This really could be a great location with the smoking I think is gonna kill most of the business that would go there. Just my feedback.
